Skid Plate Options

[Perfection]

I've read lots of threads with opinions on the BB and SR skid plates.

Does anyone run the Rocky Road skid plate? Toyota 4runner & Tacoma front skidplates How would you rate it compared to the BB and SR?

Thanks.

Never heard of them. Most of the guys I wheel with run BB's, that plate is the same thickness and cheaper- so you cant argue with that. BB's belly pan looks like its going to give you more coverage though.

Like sliders the BB's are cheap insurance, if you don't believe me crack that purdy aluminum transfer case open.

Yep!

They are well worth it. They have saved my mounts numerous times.

I'm probably getting both the gas tank and control arm skids but as for engine/t-case/trans skids I'm going with Skid Plate, 96-02 4Runner, Front and Rear Combo Package

Completely mangled after the Rubicon!

I love my skids from Savage OffRoad. Make sure to take a look at those too.

Any deals on skid plates? Got in an accident recently and it tore my factory skids right off - looking at Skid rows currently.

I think Roy has a discount on shipping right now at savage Offroad.

I think Roy has a discount on shipping right now at savage Offroad.

Just checked their site, and it looks like shipping is free for the month of February. Looks like I'll be ordering a set today.

 

[MAD 69]

Looks like a good deal, was liking the black skids, wonder if Savage has them in black? I'm going to contact them, thanks for the tip

 

[Twan]

I didn't see anything about Black skids, but that's just a rattle can away. I also couldn't help myself, I ordered the Savage skid combo.

This is one that I am getting. Ryan is a good guy to deal with and makes a great product. Plus he has the best prices out there!!!

I purchase the Lotus Rear Control Arm skids through Amazon $94 shipped. Great product and as already mentioned very effective.

As far as the Savage Off-Road, I would endorse their skids. When compared to the others, honestly for our application there where no functional difference. What drew my decision was the design features, which fit well with our build.
The terrain we frequent is not exclusively rocky, yet there are times where we do find some along the way. We manage for years without the under armor yet now find the investment minimal in relation to what is being protected.

Savage is a good buy with the free shipping. I bought the budbuilt combo when they had free shipping. Reasons I bought the buds over savage... think they are tad bit more arodynamic and it covers my cat better ( rig is parked outside in phoenix). I like the savage though as it has more parts making it easier to remove for oil changes and the like. There is a member offering his own creating for $280 shipped for the front skids right now. I would say it is a good fime for skid plate deals. Nice picture 8sm.
